Lo all,

Looking to lose the 2002 A3 Quattro TDI and opt for a S-Line 2005/6 A3 2.0 TDI 140. - also will remap (im guessing another 30bhp)

I can afford upto £14k so I cannot afford a newer Quattro

I'm so confident through the backroads with the quattro and the last thing i need is to spank the new car into a ditch!

advice needed!

I went from an old quattro to a new FWD and found the handling the same if not better in the new car, must be the newer design chassis & components.

I went from a 2002 S3 to a 2005 2.0TDI Sportback.

The only thing I missed about the S3 were the seats....
